Stuart,  "Sapphire and Steel" sounds interesting.  Is it available to rent or buy?  Was it a TV movie or released in theaters?

     Thank you all for the birthday messages.  Unfortunately, my husband and fourteen year old son have a cold with laryngitis so we did not celebrate my birthday.  However, my husband had purchased me DS DVD set 5 so at least I got a present.  Thanks again, the messages brightened my day.

Happy Birthday BatmannI hope you have a wonderful spring birthday.

    My three cats and I sing you a chorus of  Happy Birthday in meowese that only a fellow cat lover could love.  I hope you have a delightful birthday.

     Connie,  I forgot about the sunset.  I live on the East Coast now but was born and lived 30 years in California.  My husband's friends from New Jersey had sent some photos from the beach and I asked why everyone was sunbathing facing the parking lot.  I figured people from New Jersey didn't like the view of the ocean.   My husband laughed at me and explained about the sunrise, sunset thing.
     I was at a place here in Maine called Sebasco(sp) Resorts.  I am not sure of the exact location but we went through Bath.  The atmosphere was perfect.  Eventhough it was summer, it was cold, damp and misty.  Patchy fog rolled in off the ocean.  Couldn't  they get shots like that in Carmel, California?   

     Happy Birthday Patty! I bet your cake has green icing.  I prefer chocolate myself.  Have a happy, green day.

     I love MB's idea of an ancient house being re-built.  The old houses I have seen here in Maine are simple colonials with clapboards and shutters(very no frills in keeping with its puritan roots)  Architecture in Maine didn't get interesting until the Victorian era.  Of course, over the years people have remuddled them with siding and bizarre additions.  My husband is an architect and we were interested in an old house that used to be a tavern.  He said the grand staircase in the entry hall went no where.  It ended abruptly half way up because a closet was built upstairs.  The only way upstairs was in the kitchen.   The windows were all painted shut.  He tried to open one of the windows and cut his hand.  I told him the house was telling him to get out.
